Taxonomic inflation: its influence on macroecology and conservation. (2004, background): “Two recent studies [27, 28 ] show how location of hotspots of endemic species richness move spatially with changing species concepts, leading to the conclusion that hotspots might sometimes be more apparent than real [28].”
Modeling population viability of local proboscis monkey Nasalis larvatus populations: conservation implications (2012, background): “As proboscis monkeys are legally protected, collecting hunting information has proved to be difficult, and villagers are reluctant to divulge their hunting habits (Meijaard & Nijman 2003, J. G. Robins pers. obs.).”
The role of taxonomy in species conservation. (2004, background): “In addition, the variability within and between the entities on those lists can cause confusion and potentially a loss of credibility for the process, as well as for priority areas determined from the lists (Meijaard & Nijman 2003).”
Effectiveness of biodiversity indicators varies with extent, grain, and region (2006, background): “…Howard et al., 1998; Juutinen and Monkkonen, 2004; Heino et al., 2005) and studies with mixed results (Dobson et al., 1997; Ricketts et al., 1999; Moritz et al., 2001; Negi and Gadgil, 2002; Larsen and Rahbek, 2003; Lawler et al., 2003; Meijaard and Nijman, 2003; Moore et al., 2003; Thomas, 2005).”
